| Re: Not impressed I use it, and it's great. Watched all the Lexx episodes. Connects quick, no jitter. I only have a 1.4ghz celeron, and 1 gig ram, and 8mb integrated (shared memory) video, and it runs full screen even when putting it on a external monitor while browsing on my laptop screen.
The only thing I do not like, is the little nags.
It poped up a nag to give feedback, so I clicked it, but nothing happened. Nag went away though, 1 minute later, nag is back again. Kept doing that until I closed and re-opened the program, which, now it's doing it with the US Army advertisments. -- »www.WiiNetCommunity.com FREE RELIABLE WEB HOSTING! | |

| I'm not giving them crap because they are in beta...I just don't get the concept.
The "new" content isn't that compelling...and I don't need to pay yet another monthly subscription for "regular" tv content. I'd rather sling my regular cable/satellite that I'm already paying for to my computer. | |

  mlerner Premium join:2000-11-25 Nepean, ON | Useless outside the US.. Only thing is like every other video content service, it's useless outside of the US. Except National Geographic there's hardly any good content on Joost in Canada. | |

| Worst F'n Interface Ever 1. Have no idea what most of the icons represent. 2. Easily to "get lost" when scrolling the program list because the list "never ends". 3. Unintuitive way to exit the damn program. I originally thought it was ctrl-esc-del. 4. Very poor way of organizing channels. You have to subscribe to the channel just for the privilege to view the half-dozen programs' listing. 5. One never know how to move up/down/within a level. Let say you are watching a show. HTH do you move within/up/down a category? You just have to hit one of the silly icons and hope it leads you back to somewhere that you recognize. 6. Stupid program starts to load a program before you even make a selection. WTH thought of this idea? 7. To prove the program's interface is crap, I use Chinese p2ptv progams & I can navigate them relatively easily. Joost is in freakin English, and I still get frustrated. | |
